Slant 6 / Christina Billotte

Produced by Ian Mackaye of Minor Threat/Fugazi fame, Slant 6 were a Washington DC band consisting of an all girl line up. The most notable of the trio would be Christina Billotte, who after the band broke up in 1995, went on to form Quix*O*Tic with her sister, Mira Billotte, who went on to form the "eerie pop" band White Magic. Christina also released a one off disc under the nameThe Casual Dots, which by the way is totally good.

The music on this disc isn't groundbreaking, but it sure is a nice way to see the early days of a talented musician.

Enjoy: Inzombia and watch this video which somehow goes with this post.

that muppets video is awesome and totally matches christina billotte's style. i wonder what she is up to? i miss her weirdness. her sister's band had a split single on tylenol (yes the pain medicine) records. weird.

i am going to go get the casual dots album. how did i not know about it for 4 years? and i thought i was a fan...

Now hear this:

Please leave comments so I know that I'm not just serving these tunes to lurkers.
I'm happy to know that at the end of the day I've helped these musicians find a little attention, no matter how small.
Also, don't just sit at home downloading all the time...go out and BUY RECORDS!
If anyone has an issue with what I'm doing here, be a gem and let ME know first instead of doing something unkind.
